in the case of blackberry it routes data to servicers in canada. these proposals would force both of them to unscramble and intercept messages for the u.s. government here in the united states. india and saudi arabia have been heavily criticized to ban them because they claim the devigss e-mail encryption poses a national security risk. the u.s. threatened them for threatening the free flow of information. but apparently the u.s. government has no problem with authorities spying on blackberry customers. even bigger concern to the government though is peer to peer, instant messaging software, skype, that sort of thing. those kinds of messages are not routed through a central hub making it that much harder for the government to eavesdrop on suspects. the solution? force developers to insert a ready made back door in their software giving the government instant surveillance access whenever a judge orders it. critics say legally mandated back doors will be exploet ploited by hackers and compromise security. big issue here is the

in canada but it only takes 100 signatures. it does not occur to people in most countries that is legitimate for two parties to get together and keep competition off the ballot. host: for those who tried to keep the parties off the ballots, what is the main reasoning? guest: it depends on whether they are talking honestly or not. if you want an example of an honest comment, i was at a georgia state legislative hearing once and a legislator on the elections committee said, i don't want no damn libertarian running against me. i appreciated that. when the law came before judges, the judges will not say something like that. they constantly tell us we are in danger of overcrowded ballots that will cause the uer confusion. the truth is, we suffer from under-crowded ballots. i have been tracking state legislative candidacies for 20 years. every election year between 30% and 35% of the state races have one candidate on the ballot, even for the more important office of u. house of representatives -- typically 10% have only one candidate
